Oh, I didn't notice the unmasked head on Kylo Ren the first time I looked at that image. And it has the burned Vader helmet too? Daaang. I like the Figuarts, but I might need to get this one for the extra accessories, too.

Man that Kylo looks good! I might get it to replace my Black Series. If he's as good as Spider-Man then I'll be happy.

If nothing else, you could always display the maefex one without the cloak or with the unmasked head.

Sabine is looking great!

As is Revan

Though Sabine's head is bothering me a little. It's like they tried to make her more realistic maybe?

If they make the entire Ghost crew as black series I will happily buy them all

Yeah, I'm down for all the Rebels cast.

I think I see it. To me, it seems like they tried to make her a bit older might also just be a case of bad photo/lighting.

Question:

Before the Prequels, did everyone just assume the Emperor was an alien, just due to how odd he looks?

Don't know about the Black series Revan and Sabin. I love the characters, but none of the Black series toys ever looked good enough to me to warrant the price they're asking. So I think I’ll skip them.

When I first saw him, when it was the old lady with the chimpanzee eyes, I figured he was a zombie or a vampire or something. Once I saw him in Return of the Jedi I figured he's just really, really old :lol

No, I just thought two things

1. He was just SUPER old.
2. Other Star Wars media has shown the dark side to be cancerous, so your looks slowly deteriorate.

Official images and information of Mafex figures: Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma and C-3PO & BB-8:


Source: Medicom.

Wow. That Phasma is gorgeous.

They just went up for pre order on Ami Ami, wow they're expensive 3PO especially....

Which is bullshit because they don’t use the reference retail price from Medicom.

Medicom's page for example says 5,800￥ for Kylo Ren, but AmiAmi offers him for 6,264￥ and then applies the discount. So it’s actually more expensive than it should be.

HLJ used Medicom's price for the Stormtrooper and then applied the discount, so let's see if they offer these cheaper as well.

Kylo and Phasma just went up for pre order on HLj, they are definietly much cheaper than AmiAmi...which I find surprising.

Dammit. I want all three, but I can't afford to get all three. Also, my only experience with MAFEX is Batman, and it's a floppy piece of junk, so I'm really hesitant to buy any of them.

I'll wait until they come out and see how people like them.

I've heard decent things about their Vader if nothing else.

Eh, for that price though I'm kinda leaning more towards the model kits.

I've heard mixed things about Vader. And the most strong impressions I've heard, both from people that have both the MAFEX and the SHF, one favors the MAFEX and one the SHF. :)
And I really like the SHF, so I probably shouldn't bother with MAFEX Vader.

N-Y looks to have the best prices on MAFEXs so far.

Kylo - ¥4,980
Threepio and BB-8 - ¥8,180
Phasma - ¥5,180

Finished building Bandai's First order storm trooper kit:

It's nice, it's got a ton of detail and the articulation's pretty close to Figuarts level.

It's not perfect though, the joints on mine are pretty loose specifically on the forearms, and I hate the fact that the only give you a trigger finger hand for holding things. That's a bummer, but still it's a good alternative if you don't have a Target in your neck of the woods. I planned on getting at least two more of him with this being painted into Finn, now I have no issues doing that what so ever.

Bring it on.

nice! I should be getting the Target release later tonight.

I actually don't like the way the Target version looks

I don't remember what it looks like. I'm in it for the bonus features.

I feel like a bad fan for not paying attention to the home video release of this movie at all. A part of me does want it... But then I see talk of how many freaking versions there are and just kinda don't want to bother again.

I'm pretty sure there are fewer exclusive versions of this film than there were for ROTS. :)
You can also just wait for the inevitable trilogy release that should be available after episode 9.

I just wanted to get it today, didn't care which edition. Since I ended up at Best Buy today, I bought the BB exclusive steelbook.

Basically, the regular edition is a regular release. Target has a couple more bonus features, Best Buy has a steelbook. Other than that, I have no idea if there are other versions.

I know Walmart has BB8 on their cover, I don't know if it's just a slip cover or not.

Mon Mothma! Squeeeeee!

Looking great.

Tali excited.

needs more Lieutenant Kettch.

So, other than the little bit of voice work in TFA, I think Rogue One is our first returning on-screen prequel actor resuming their role.

It's a slip cover, and it's four dollars more expensive than the regular cover...

I probably missed y'all talking about this, but in case I didn't here's some info I think some of us older Star Wars fan will find sad. The man that gave life to Admiral Akbar died.

Who?

Genevieve O'Reilly is back as Mon Mothma. Of course, 95% of her Episode III stuff was cut, but I'd still count it.

Casting director should deserve a good pat on the back for getting someone so spot on.

I've heard rumors about Hayden Christansen being in Episode 8, has this amounted to anything yet? Because I know there were some Force Awakens concepts showing the light and dark sides of Force ghosts, Vader being the prime example.

Aftermath is one of the worst Star Wars novels I've ever read. Really just want to get it over with in the hope that the other two novels I picked up are more worth it, but it's such a chore to get through that my progress has been pretty slow.
